Swig, the beloved dirty soda shop with roots in Utah, has officially opened its doors in Las Vegas, bringing its unique take on customizable sodas and sweet treats to the entertainment capital.
Known for its playful and indulgent menu, Swig has built a cult following, including nods to its popularity on the hit reality show, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
The Las Vegas location marks an exciting new chapter, blending Swig’s small-town origins with the glitz and energy of Sin City, making it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike.

It's basically a soda-meets-mocktail type of experience with endless combinations.

'We Fell In Love With The Brand'
While this is the first Swig for Sin City, locals won't have to wait too long to get a few more in different areas of Las Vegas.
"We fell in love with the brand when they opened in 2010, and for years, every year, we would all and say we would like to franchise because we loved everything about what they were doing," Jessica Smuin told The Blast exclusively.
"This is the flagship for the Vegas location, and we're looking to open several more in the next few years. Our Rainbow location should be coming online in late March or early April, and we've got a few more in the pipeline. We're looking in Centennial, Henderson, up north. We also have Craig Road and North 5th solidified and that should be opening late summer."

While the grand opening celebration is today and tomorrow, Swig Las Vegas opened a few weeks ago and the response has been super positive.
"We've been so, so busy since we opened. We've been able to serve a lot of people, and everybody's been super happy that we're here," Gabby told The Blast. "We even started noticing repeat customers, so it's been really fun talking to them and creating that relationship."

Fans Of 'The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives' Know All About Swig!
For some, their first introduction to dirty soda and Swig happened while watching the Hulu hit reality series, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
"When I ask how'd you hear about us, a lot of the times they said either TikTok or the show," Jessica shared. "And a lot of people are like, oh we've tried it in Utah, we've been to St. George. The show helped, but I also think the brand is just so strong that people know it from visiting other places."
While many viewers of the show know just what each of the MomTok stars' favorite Swig drink is, there's already some popular drinks at the new Vegas location.
"There's definitely a few drinks that get ordered more. We have made so many Texas Tabs. That's Dr. Pepper with vanilla and coconut cream," Gabby said. "We've made a lot of Shark Attacks; that's another top one."

What's On The Menu At Swig In Las Vegas?
With so many different combination options, there's something at Swig to quench anyone and everyone's thirst.
